Thanks sjo! As always, I look forward to seeing your ties!
Here's an update: Sorry so late - spent a few UNPLANNED days in the hospital this past week.
1) I have sent 3 PM's to scubatim in the past 3 weeks. He sent a message after my first PM that he was planning on remailing his RED flies on 3/1. Unfortunately I have yet to receive them I have had no response as of yet to my next 2 PM's. I am holding his set of flys for now and will be happy to return the one's you tied for him if you request on this thread or by PM, just let me know. I will let you know if he remains active in the swap - also - if you have heard of/from him please let me know.
2) I have updated the first page listing of those I have recieved flies from - check to verify that yours have been received. The person handling my mail opened and "filed" your packages. It looks like I got 3 packages but do not from whom or on what day. The first thread listing IS up to date and YES all the flies look great!!
3) RED flies were mailed today. Below are the pictures of what is coming to you. ORANGE flies will be out within the next week - I want to get pictures first. This should put us back on schedule.
